Pre-conference advertising of the event is the responsibility of the host company. SLAS2019 recommends submitting your application early as tutorial and/or exhibit meeting space will be posted on the SLAS2019 website as received, providing more visibility to your tutorial and/or exhibit floor meeting space.

Rooms are available only to companies that have rented exhibit booth space at the conference.

All catering costs are the responsibility of the host company. Upon confirmation of the application, SLAS2019 will provide contact names for catering service.

All rooms will be set in classroom style for 75 people. Rooms will automatically be supplied with audio visual (AV) equipment: LCD projector, screen, podium and microphone. Additional AV equipment is the responsibility of the host company.

If slots are available on October 31, exhibiting companies will be given the option to request additional tutorial space.
